This invention consists of a rigid tube provided with fingers of peculiar construction, in combination with an elastic tube, as will be fully described.

HON* vided with hooks or stops, D, formed by turning over the ends of saidl fingers to prevent the escape of the ring A.

` For the use of larger children, the ring A is placed outside of all the fingers C, andthe stops 1) are turned outward.

The elastic tube or ring A, in combination with the v tube B, when the latter is providedrwith the fingers U and stops D, as described, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
